I'd have to agree with you Zombieman. I barely go to the website at all this year. It's obvious, you need to be lucky to win anything, but why build a website that purposefully frustrates it's fans? When I started following HHN in 05 the site was great and it hooked me. Now I'm to get other people into it as well, especially since we're going for the first time this year, but every time I introduce the site or the hints to anyone else, they play one round, get banished and say it's stupid & doesn't make any sense. Pretty hard to build hype for the trip down to Orlando when our main attraction has banished my fellow trip takers from a good portion of its website.
That being said, I'd like to believe they have a reason for releasing information this way and the conclusion of the Take a Chance game will justify all the banishment and commitment required to build The House.
